Garfield Grows International Footprint

PARIS: Mediatoon has been rolling out The Garfield Show in new territories around the world, with broadcasts slated for the U.K., Scandinavia, Spain and Latin America, among others.

The show successfully launched on France 3’s Toowam in December, and has been notching up strong ratings in the 4-to-10 demo. Rede Record in Brazil picked up The Garfield Show, which is also set to launch in Germany, Italy, Australasia and the Middle East. Produced by Dargaud Media, The Garfield Show, shot in HD, is about Garfield’s day-to-day life, blending the modern look of CGI animation and familiar humor of the orange tabby cat. In addition to the 52 11-minute episodes, 26 shorts of 40 seconds are available for multiplatform and mobile content.
